ONCE UPON A POND


once upon a pond swam a duck.
unluckiest of all pond ducks.

when hunter fired his gun,
dumb duck forgot to duck;
becoming supper for hunter.



never had an inkling,
try and persuade a chicken
not to lay an egg.

hand I been so inclined,
I many have been labeled 
an egghead, or 

something more colorful,
such as a blooming idiot
with fried egg brain syndrome.


so often we neglect
important things in life,
having been caught up

in trivial things.
often realizing our mistakes
far to late in life.


 those unforeseen problems
catching us unaware
seemingly sneaking up
like thieves in the night
spoiling for a fight


 metal resilience
against all the corrosive
controversy flowing much
like water down a stream.

 overflow of emotions
running hot and heavy.

dexterity of such emotions
weights us down, down;
lost in underling tow.


 social economic achievements
behold grandeur of such
all you strong and tall
you weak and small
standing bold against the din
promoting victory over all 

holding one's self accountable
for one's own actions
honorable, righteous. 
keeps one standing tall.

GOSSIP

have found it quite interesting that those folks not prone towards gossip usually end up food for gossip; let the feast begin. home to 25 million people, Shanghai is, without argument, largest city on planet Earth. and, in same tone, most interesting. not to just poke and run, but poking for some has become such darn good fun just to poke and run with thumb stuck up a bun some days, feel this need to think. and on those days, usually nap until that need-to-think feeling fades into oblivion.  thorough and methodical in all things worthy. errors are for those careless and hellbent. careless is for those with reckless intend. and life moves on while world moves forward. passing through state of confusion, met a wolf, a huff and six incidents on way to ruff up six days shining with week of nights hiding. all this happens without use of hard drink or false hope on a string.  wheels just keep turning,...

DEPENDENCE

Image
utter dependent of those that know; those in the know. above reproach; gestures toward higher-order. enthusiasm on overdrive. glorious revival theories. gravity of such requires great strength, fortitude. no pessimistic views. unknowns relating to....... however, am not authorized revealing such information until cows have returned; fed and milked. by should we diversify, turning deficits into positive arrays; then and only then, authorities my just overlook those unknowns and milk cows. this all rides on diversity, and walking alone through dark and stormy nights with dull thoughts and nowhere to call home. the way it was before it was this way that it is, it was only yesterday. yesterday saying goodbye as to tomorrow was moving in, becoming the new today; yesterday's tears not yet day. and tomorrow's tomorrow gets all set to prance and dance; taking over for today while watching ...

ONCE UPON A TIME

once upon a time, but now, that time is long past. dairy we say hay? warrants have been issued  for heck of a lot less.  quid pro quo in advance of...... no, will wait with that.  to complicated for simple kangaroos on speed, to contemplate such awkwardness defies logic. enter logistics into mix; bake at 300 degrees for an eternity plus life. never say nothing not retractable.  certainly not traceable.  another snob job; snobby towards all kangaroos.  insensitive blow-hard snob. money has many friends. so very many and all frivolous friends. but only hurts in funny ways. real hurt yet in coming. sauerkraut overload with help with that.  on any given moment of any give day, any given person stepping up to be counted; think of the possibilities. the wonders to achieve. then add another person, and another, and another, and.... well, sky is the limit, here. just imagine all great possibil...
